Zhong Yue replied, "Even if you didn't come, I still would've gone to the Zi Wei Galaxy. Don't worry, I have my own way of hiding my identity."
He had always planned on creating Gu Yue. His old self would continue to walk the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, diverting their and the Zi Wei Galaxy's attention away from his true self. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue would be free to begin a new adventure in the Zi Wei Galaxy.
This plan had come into motion since he acquired Goddess Hou Tu's ancestral blood. However back then, he had yet to cultivate the innate mortal body and separate himself into the old him and true him, just like Goddess Hou Tu and Goddess Shen Hou.
But since that was achieved, he now had the confidence to enter and survive the Zi Wei Galaxy.
Although, before I head over for Zi Wei, I need to change my appearance and adopt a new identity.
